537. The account is held to be admitted if the party accounted to has not contested it within 15 days of the date of filing, and the contestation is held to be well founded if the accounting party has not filed his answers within 15 days of the service upon him of the contestation. The court may, however, for a valid reason relieve a party from the consequences of his default.
After issue is joined by the filing of the answers, the parties proceed to trial in the ordinary way.
